Growth Groups (small group fellowships)

A significant portion of our church is involved in Growth Group Fellowships. Within these groups we build community, encourage each other and grow spiritually. Groups meet in various locations around the city. Some groups, like our young adults group, bring together people with similar life experience.

--Selah (for women)--The word Selah is taken from the Psalms and means "stop and listen." Selah meets once a month on the opposite months as L.I.F.T. It is a time set apart for women to experience silence and solitude, focusing on being with God in the community of others. Contact: Sonya Leeds, sonya.leeds@gmail.com.
